Vitamin B12 has the most complex structure among all of the vitamins.
The human body requires vitamin B12 for DNA molecules creation, for the synthesis of the proteins building blocks (amino acids) and the processing of fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12, together with vitamin B9, is needed for a hematopoiesis, and the growth and development of the body. A deficiency of B12 leads to an anemia.
🔬Common variants in FUT2 gene are associated with levels of vitamin B12. For example, rs602662 G carriers have lower concentrations of cellular and plasma vitamin. Poor food intake in this case often leads to an anemia.
